Make window.location.href load page from Server instead from browser cache

Question

I am making a redirect using window.location.href.

But what it does, it simply fetches old page (not showing the newly added item) that was previously in borwser's cache.

I want it to fetch every think from server, just like we use true parameter in document.location.reload(true) to load a fresh copy of page from server.

its simply `window.location.href = "http://www.mywebsite.com/products"` — Umair Ayub, Jul 23 '16 at 18:22
if you think that it loads cached pages instead of new then you should try in `private browsing` to see the new result. other condition I can't examine what are you asking about — Syed Aqeel, Jul 23 '16 at 18:26

You can use this:

window.location.href = "http://www.mywebsite.com/products?t="+ (new Date().getTime());

Or:

window.location.href = "http://www.mywebsite.com/products?t="+ Math.random();

Oh, my friend, you miss-understand the purpose ! This is not a gif/css/js file :D please read the article you have posted @CharlesAddis. USING QUERYSTRING **WILL NOT** PREVENT RESOURCES IN THE PAGE FROM BEING CACHED but JUST THE PAGE ITSELF! and THAT'S THE GOAL OF THE OP !! please remove the downvote ! – Ismail RBOUH Jul 23 '16 at 18:38
